When I walked out of the mountain, I saw that Master and the village chief were already waiting in front, so I walked quickly to Master and asked anxiously, "Master, we have found the trace of that cow, why did you suddenly let us come back?" What happened in the village? Is it worse than catching that demon? ”

The master frowned and sighed lightly: "Just now, someone from the village came to inform that there was another death in the village!" ”

I was stunned, didn't that demon cling to the cow and hide in the mountains? Why, why did you kill someone in Niutun again? This, this is too strange! I was also at a loss for a while, but when I saw Master and Village Chief Niu hurrying back, I also hurriedly chased after them and asked, "Master, what about the cows in the mountains?" It's almost dark on this day, what if you enter the village again at night and harm people? ”

The master shook his head and said, "Now I am at a loss for the teacher, I can't say whether the demon is attached to the cow or not, but the dead person is the biggest thing, we have to go back to the village to see, if the second dead person is also sucked dry, it means that the demon is not attached to the cow." And we don't have to go into the mountains to look for the cow anymore, and now that it's getting dark, the villagers who enter the mountains can't do much with a killing blade, and it is not suitable for them to continue to stay in the mountains and adventure, we must let them all go home! ”

As soon as he entered the village, the master asked Village Chief Niu, "Village Chief Niu, what is the name of the person who died?" Do you know?! ”

The village chief of Niu sighed, nodded and said: "I know, he, speaking of which, he can be regarded as an outlier in our Niutun, there is almost no one who does not know him, I am afraid that he is in our Niutun, and I am even more famous as the village chief!" As he spoke, Village Chief Niu gave a strange wry smile, followed by another long sigh, but his words made me a little confused. I don't know what Village Chief Niu means by this.

The master was stunned and asked, "Oh? What kind of outliers? ”

While leading us to the southeast of the village, the village chief Niu said: "If you want to talk about this person, you have to talk about his background, because he is not from our Niutun, but when he was very young, he married our Niutun with his mother. His stepfather called Niu Sanjin, who was an honest crop master, but unfortunately the family was poor, and he couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, and when he was forty years old, he was also a single, and the people in the village didn't look at it, so he looked for someone to help him touch a marriage, and just find a woman who could live, don't always let him be single, it's not a thing when he's old, right? Not to mention, someone really touched a family for him, but he was a widow and had a three- or four-year-old son, but that woman was very good-looking, and she would live, and Niu Sanjin couldn't dislike others, after all, he didn't live a life by himself, so ah, people brought children to live with him. ”

After a pause, Niu Village went on to talk again, and afterwards the people in the village said that Niu Sanjin picked up the treasure, but no, that woman was good in everything, not only could she run a family, but also was a learned person, not long after, even Niu Sanjin went to the village to talk in an orderly manner. Her son is based on the original father's surname, surnamed Pu, and someone told Niu Sanjin that he should change his surname to Niu, after all, he has been with him now!

But Niu Sanjin is a sincere person, shook his head and smiled and said that everything is the same as kiss, not to mention, Niu Sanjin is wholeheartedly to other people's mothers, and other people's mothers also regard him as their relatives, and the son surnamed Pu also calls Niu Sanjin Daddy every day, and he is tired of calling Daddy, and humming a little song every day that Niu Sanjin is beautiful.

The son surnamed Pu is the second person to die in the village now, and his name is Pu Xuanlin. The family lives happily together, and Niu Sanjin is becoming more and more motivated, buying a lot of fields, and life is getting better day by day, but it didn't take long for Pu Xuanlin to die of illness when he was fifteen or sixteen years old. But the cow cried three catties, and he didn't eat or drink for three days and three nights, and he lost a few laps.

Pu Xuanlin is a good child, comforting his father Niu Sanjin and gradually getting out of the haze of the family, and the father and son live on each other. After another ten years or so, Niu Sanjin died in the field. Some people say that since the death of his wife, he has been depressed and depressed all day long, and he can't eat well or drink well, and it's good to be able to survive the past ten years. After the death of Niu Sanjin, who was in his sixties, Pu Xuanlin was twenty-six years old that year.

But there was originally a poor family with a father and son, and no one was willing to marry their daughter to Pu Xuanlin, a poor boy, and Pu Xuanlin was now in his early thirties.

As for why Pu Xuanlin became an outlier in Niutun, it still has to start with this person's persistence, Pu Xuanlin is a person, he likes to listen to some ghost stories since he was a child, as long as there are old people in the village who tell some gods and ghosts, he designated to be present, and over time, when he grew up, he went to the town to buy some books to read. I especially like the story of chatting about fasting, which is full of ghosts and goblins, and others dare not look at it, but he just likes to watch it.

Gradually, I don't want to go out of the house, I don't like to interact with the people in the village, and I read those ghost books day and night. Once, Niu Laosi in the village came home from the field at night, and he came home a little late that day, and his land was at the foot of the mountain three miles to the east.

I saw that Pu Xuanlin actually had a table of wine and food at the crossroads, and candles were lit, and incense was lit next to the meal.

Niu Laosi asked to know that Pu Xuanlin was obsessed with learning what Pu Songling of the Qing Dynasty was, talking about foxes and ghosts, and writing ghost books, Pu Xuanlin told Niu Laosi that the book in his hand was written by Pu Songling, and the world called Pu Songling Mr. Liaozhai, so he dreamed of walking the path of Pu Songling, becoming friends with ghost foxes, and becoming a ghost Mr.

Both parents died early, and no one cared about this child. Niu Laosi persuaded Pu Xuanlin for a long time, but he still couldn't say that Pu Xuanlin would go back to the village, so he had to let him go his own way.

Gradually, this matter spread in the village, and the villagers jokingly called Pu Xuanlin Mr. Ghost. But no one dared to associate with him, after all, he tinkered with those evil things all day long, and from time to time he ran out in the middle of the night, and he didn't know which intersection he was sitting at chatting with the ghost fox.

Pu Xuanlin's death this time was also discovered by the thin camel old man who lived next door to him. The thin camel old man is also an old bachelor, and he is a neighbor of Pu Xuanlin, so he feels very sorry for this child, and takes some food to Pu Xuanlin from time to time. Or cook some food every once in a while and bring it to him. And Pu Xuanlin is also very grateful to the thin camel old man, every time the thin camel old man has a small illness or disaster, Pu Xuanlin is also waiting on the side.

A few days ago, the old man of the thin camel had rheumatism again, and the joints of his legs were painful, so Pu Xuanlin thought of a way, went out to collect some wormwood, and went to the old man's house every day to moxibustion for him. It is said that moxibustion for seven consecutive days can almost stop the pain, but after four consecutive days, on the fifth day, that is, today, the thin camel old man waited left and right at home, but he didn't see Pu Xuanlin's child. It was almost dark just now, and the thin camel old man had to run to Pu Xuanlin's house on crutches, and he couldn't see it, Pu Xuanlin was dead!

Hearing this, I smiled slightly: "If you get too close to the ghost fox, you will damage your own yang energy, and over time, it will either be a disease or a disaster, but maybe it will be caused by that demon." Alas, you say it's good to live a good life, why do you have to provoke those lonely ghosts? It's like looking for death! ”

The master sighed lightly and said, "Everyone has his own ambitions, and he can't be forced, but if he is dead, you don't have to complain that he can't be successful." Besides, his fate is bumpy, and his withdrawn personality is also reasonable, let's go and see the corpse! ”

"Mr. Yang, the lonely house in front of you is Pu Xuanlin's home." Village Chief Niu pointed to a dilapidated mansion located on the southeast edge of the village, and said: "If you want to say that it is also to blame me for not being a good village chief, if I can persuade him earlier, maybe I will not let him become like this, at least it is good to find him a daughter-in-law to restrain him." It's just that this child's heart is unpredictable, and he often can't find anyone at his house, and some people even say ah......"

When the master walked to Pu Xuanlin's gate, he suddenly paused and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Village Chief Niu hurriedly whispered: "A few families next to me say that sometimes in the middle of the night, you can hear the voices of Pu Xuanlin's men, women and children in the family, and sometimes there is the sound of singing, knocking and beating, it is very lively, and those people are so scared that they dare not go out at night!" ”

Master nodded, didn't say anything, but pushed open the door and walked in. It is a standard three-room farmhouse, with a hall in the middle, an inner house on both sides, and a small stove house against the wall on the east side. Maybe it's because of the evil things that Pu Xuanlin has done, and this courtyard is lonely, compared to the villagers who surrounded the time when Uncle Fool died, there is hardly a figure around at this moment. Inside, however, a thin old man, hunched over, was burying his head in changing new clothes for a young man lying on a broken mat.

This little old man must be the thin camel old man that the village chief Niu said, right? And the young man with clear eyebrows on the broken mat must be the ghost Mr. Pu Xuanlin jokingly called by the villagers!
